ESG Rating and Better Shirts

DAVE, I NEED TO BOOST OUR COMPANY'S ESG RATING, SO I'M PROMOTING YOU TO BE OUR CTO. I KNOW YOU IDENTIFY AS WHITE, SO THAT WON'T HELP OUR ESG SCORES, BUT WOULD IT BE TOO MUCH TROUBLE TO IDENTIFY AS GAY? DEPENDS HOW HARD YOU WANT ME TO SELL IT. JUST WEAR BETTER SHIRTS.

A Dilbert-style office comic shows a Black employee being promoted to CTO so the company can improve its ESG rating. The boss then suggests that identifying as gay would help even more, while the employee replies that it depends on how hard he has to sell it and is told to wear better shirts. The joke satirizes corporate diversity tokenism, identity politics, and superficial ESG marketing.
